19014227New Orleans: A.M. Escudier Book and Job Printers 1901. About good. 19pp. Original printed front wrapper rear wrapper not present. Front wrapper a bit chipped and creased old adhesive repairs to closed tears bottom corner reinforced with tissue partially split along spine. Text block a bit toned foxed and creased. A seemingly unrecorded turn-of-the-20th century New Orleans imprint recording the founding and governing documents of the Ladies' Catholic Benevolent Association of the Sacred Heart of Mary of the Fifth District of New Orleans. The work contains the group's charter letters of support from various Louisiana officials the constitution and by-laws of the New Orleans chapter. The LCBA was organized in 1890 in Titusville Pennsylvania as a mutual aid society to provide insurance to women as most insurance companies of the time considered women uninsurable. The members of the association would pool their money together in order to cover various insurance needs as they arose from the membership. The group is actually still in operation today now known as the Loyal Christian Benefit Association. Though social action by Catholic women is more prevalent today it was uncommon in the 19th and early-20th century but the present group was strong-willed and often clashed with the hierarchy including some Bishops.

185236379New Orleans: Printed at the Crescent Office 1852. 100pp. Toned with some foxing light rubberstamp on title page. Upper blank corners of last two leaves renewed couple of small holes in last leaf affecting about five letters. Good in modern boards.<br /> <br /> The new Constitution mandated that "the Legislature shall apportion the representation among the several parishes and election districts on the basis of the total population. A representative number shall be fixed and each parish and election district shall have as many Representatives as its aggregate population shall entitle it to." This meant that in apportioning representatives slaves would be counted in determining the "total population" even though the franchise was limited to adult white males. The legislative deck was thus stacked in favor of election districts with large slaveholding plantations; and the interests of that segment of the State would dominate governmental councils.<br /> This provision created significant opposition to the proposed Constitution which was adopted by the narrowest of margins. Many called it "anti-republican" arguing that it reflected "a calculated effort to reduce the political power of regions where the black population remained sparse" Hyde Pistols and Politics 70 LSU Press: 1996.<br /> The Journal records the Convention's daily proceedings during July 1852 and prints the proposed Constitution. <br /> Jumonville 2151.

The present map is notable for its inclusion of Gulfport as it was gridded in 1920 and Cat Island a barrier island used for an undercover WWII program Dogs for Defense. Cat Island was chosen as the training camp dedicated to a specialized training program based off the untrue belief that dogs could differentiate humans by smell based on their cultural heritage. The top secret program attempted to train dogs to track and attack Japanese soldiers in the Pacific Theater and was held at Cat Island because of its similar terrain to that of the Pacific Islands and its uninhabited status. This operation was unsuccessful due to the incorrect assumption and shut down in 1944. This map is a highly detailed and accurate sea chart of the coastal border between Louisiana and Mississippi and is an important historical view of the developing Louisiana and Mississippi.

18663572New Orleans 1866. Very good. 12pp. Original printed wrappers sewn. Minimal soiling light edge wear to wrappers. Vertical center crease throughout. Light even toning to text otherwise very clean. A scarce work issued by the Reconstruction government of the state of Louisiana seeking funds from the United States Congress to make repairs to the Mississippi River levees "together with its tributaries the Arkansas and Red rivers." The Board of Levee Commissioners was seeking federal aid because the state of Louisiana had become so impoverished by the end of the Civil War stating here that "The State crippled as she is in her resources is still making herculean efforts to protect her citizens." Before the war argues the Board the state as well as the proprietors of the lands along the Mississippi River were able to maintain the levees albeit "at an immense outlay of labor and money" but "at a time of general prosperity when labor was abundant and cheap." In other words slave labor was formerly employed to maintain the levees and now that the people of Louisiana can no longer use slaves the state wants make the federal government pay literally. One passage in the work even discusses in detail the impact of slaves and free persons of color who have abandoned thirteen parishes which are now "almost altogether desolated." The report cites census and crop yield data to make the point that without this practically free labor force as well as the cotton sugar molasses and corn they produced the labor and economic impact on Louisiana of taking away a free labor force was onerous.<br /> <br /> Works by the Board of Levee Commissioners are rather rare in institutions with just eight copies of the present work in OCLC at LSU Tulane the University of Alabama the Library of Congress the Minnesota Historical Society Library Duke the Rutherford B.

It was consumed with issues of State debt financial auditing bonds and the public treasury.

196328031New Orleans 1963. Very Good -. New Orleans: ca. 1960-1965. Large oblong quarto 27x41cm.; brown gilt-tooled leatherette bound with leather strap; 47ll. to which are mounted 311 photographic snapshots nearly all black and white and measuring 8.5x8.5cm. Album a bit scuffed at extremities joints significantly cracked from use and poor quality of leatherette leaves a bit thumbed along fore-edge margins a number of photographs apparently removed though otherwise Good to Very Good contents that remain mostly in fine condition.<br /> <br /> Extensive though sadly uncaptioned personal photo album of a young white woman in New Orleans in the early to mid-1960s documenting her social family and work life date based on shots time-stamped 1963 and 1964. What we have gathered from the contents the compiler worked at least briefly as a server at a diner whose staff was mixed-race though still separated by position: the servers all appear to be white while the grill cooks and kitchen staff are Black. <br /> <br /> Of special note are the compiler's frequent trips to the Pontchartrain Beach amusement park in New Orleans a popular destination in the 1960s though the park was sold and its rides disbursed in the 1980s due to declining attendance. This album however beautifully captures its heyday including shots of the rides carnival games swimming pool tiki bar and a perennial favorite an oversized head inside of which our compiler loved to pose. <br /> <br /> The compiler as well as being a dog-lover was evidently a serious party-goer and additional snapshot vignettes capture various couples making out at a New Year's party or dressed up for Halloween. <br /> <br /> An excellent record of white New Orleans working class life marking the advent of the Swinging Sixties. unknown
